Millton Te Arai Vineyard Chenin Blanc 750ml

Based on critic scores and price, this wine represents outstanding value.

Critic tasting note: (2019 vintage) "(2022) Another of the great biodynamic practitioners of New Zealand, Millton's Te Arai vineyard is five kilometres from the sea, and experiences some Botrytis which may account for the 9 .5g/l of residual sugar in this is off-dry wine. F ermentation and maturation take place in a combination of demi - muids (large 600- litre oak barrels) and stainless steel tanks. Burnished gold in colour, there's an open, and nutty character here, lots of wax and lanolin qualities, honeyed for sure, with fig and quince fruit. Glorious in the mouth - perhaps verging on medium-sweet, with toast and layers of sweet pear, baked apple and more tropical fruit, then a fine and bracing saltiness to the acids in the finish." - 92/100, Tom Cannavan
